As you say, omega 3s seem to help with Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) -- some suggest they help by reducing the chronic inflammation that can lead to this condition. On the other hand, the omega 6s are thought to increase inflammation. I'd say that: yes a diet higher in omega 3s is helpful at any stage. I prefer to get mine from real whole food from trusted sources -- grass fed beef for example has a better balance of omega 6 and 3 as compared to grain fed from a feed lot. Cold water fish like salmon is also a good source -- some like to take fish oil capsules. On the other, other hand: man-made vegetable oils tend to be high in the pro-inflammatory omega 6s.</blockquote>
